On Colossians 3:1-17
“Christ is all, and in all”
“PUT TO DEATH WHAT IS EARTHLY IN YOU. “
there are so many things that control my heart and mind. i’m supposed to love God with all of my heart, soul, and mind but being stuck in the Biola circle doesn’t really help you practice that. It’s so easy to let go of your effort because Biola just does it for you. spending time with God is inevitable. I feel like i can try less to get to know God. :(
verses 5-11 has a lot of what i’ve been struggling with here at Biola. I feel like because i’m in such a great atmosphere, i let satan control me more. I believe that God will be here for me and guide me to the right path, but i don’t make the same effort God does.
One thing that i realized today is that i rebuke a lot of christians who don’t live their lives like one. I kind of put myself on a pedestal because i think i was little miss perfect in my public school. Even though i was surrounded by so many drugs and parties, i never participated in any of it. I always looked down on those who called themselves christians and didn’t live their lives like they were. I always blamed them for the decreasing number of Christians in the world. i was never able to forgive them until today. i was never able to let it go until today. I realized that there will always be those people, and that it is really hard sometimes to hold back. Satan will always try to grasp you in his hand, but everything is possible with God. I learned that those christians going through a hard time is merely pushing God away when God is always there to listen and to hold you in his arms. God always forgives, and he loves everyone.
“forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also might forgive.”
when i worship the Lord, he bring peace to my heart. Even when i feel lonely at school and i feel like there is no one, i will worship him forever because he is all i need.
“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
